Professor Ahmad Nofal of the University of Jordan spoke out on the June 8 Tel Aviv terror attack, calling it "a heroic operation, which has made us hold our heads high." Speaking on Al-Yarmouk TV on June 10, Nofal said that the Tel Aviv attack was carried out because the month of Ramadan "blows up the energies of the nations".
Nofal: "Mr. Abu Kamouna (i.e., Ban Ki-moon), who pockets a huge salary, wants the Palestinian people to die out. May you die out yourself. May your life come to an end, Allah willing. The Palestinian people will fight. This people is motivated, first of all, by the aggression against Al-Aqsa, and secondly, by the spirit of the month of Ramadan, the spirit of Jihad and resistance against Satan, his supporters, his soldiers, and his followers. The month of Ramadan and Islam bring the energies of the nations to eruption, and thus, this (Tel Aviv) operation was carried out. Ramadan motivates people towards liberation and toward fighting despair, which is the ally of Israel. This positive spirit never surrenders. The truth is that whatever the Intifada begins to subside a little, someone comes along to make the fire rage with hotter flames.

"In sum, this was a heroic operation, which has made us hold our heads high. We are honored by this operation and are proud of it. We shall not apologize to you. Your blood is no more precious than ours. Your blood is the blood of the aggressor, whereas ours is the blood of the victims of aggression. There is a huge difference between the aggressors and the victims of aggression against their country, their holy places, against their security, their future, their past, and their present, against their crops, their food and their livelihood."
